13 blocks of Greenwich Village landmarked

The Landmarks Preservation Commission voted to grant an area of Greenwich Village historic status, wrapping up the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation’s 10-year battle to protect the so-called South Village Historic District from the encroachment of New York University and other developers.

The 13-block area is bordered by Washington Street to the north, Sixth Avenue to the west, West Houston Street to the south and La Guardia Place to the east. The nabe includes Cafe Reggio, America’s first Italian coffeehouse, and is home to several key NYU development sites.

Not in my backyard. If this is not a taking then I do not know what is. I do own the property but I will tell you how and what to do with it. Bob Swanson
